Our Centre practice and principles are guided by the National Early Years Learning Framework, the Victorian Early Years Framework and National Quality Framework. We understand that every child has their own learning style, strengths and interests, through the VEYLF we encourage children to explore, imagine and interact socially through play-based learning. We work collaboratively to ensure best practice and maintain a strong and positive team environment. By being passionate and enthusiastic educators, we continue to extend on our knowledge and skills, while valuing and learning from each other’s strengths and knowledge. Get to know our wonderful team!
